(Cut to Giles opening his door dressed up like a Mexican holding a big bowl of candy.)

GILES: Happy Hallow - Hello, Buffy?

BUFFY: Oh - my - God.

GILES: It's a sombrero.

BUFFY: And it's on your head.

GILES: It seemed festive. Uhm, come in. Candy?

BUFFY: What's going on here? You hate Halloween.

GILES: I never said any such a thing. As my Watcher's duties took precedence, I simply haven't taken time to - well, to embrace its inherent charms - until now. (Turns on a Frankenstein puppet hanging from the ceiling) Look, look! (Laughs) It's alive! (Buffy just stares at him) See - how he shakes? - Is - is there something you wanted?

BUFFY: I was thinking that I should patrol tonight. You know, possibly the cemetery or if you had a better su... could you please take that off?

GILES: Oh, yes, of course. I see, is there some specific danger you were sensing?

BUFFY: No. But then you know we were all caught of guard when Ethan turned everyone into their costumes.

GILES: True, but what happened then was anomalous. Creatures of the night shy away form Halloween. They find it all much too crass.

BUFFY: Hard to believe.

GILES: Well, I-I promise you - there is little likelihood of any supernatural activity tonight.

(he holds up the bowl of Candy)

GILES: You sure you don?t want one??
